About this program

What they say about themselves

Pawsitive Interaction Dog Obedience is operated by Adam and Valerie Molina and serves Pleasanton, Blackhawk, Alamo, Danville, San Ramon, Dublin, and Livermore. Adam Molina has worked in the pet services industry for more than 11 years and says he has been training dogs since 2015. His dog-training education and certification came through Animal Behavior College, and he has also volunteered with shelter dogs at the East Bay SPCA.

The training curriculum is structured around a progression of five-week courses. Puppy Head Start introduces socialization, bite inhibition, basic commands, and positive reinforcement for puppies beginning around eight weeks old. Basic Puppy 101 builds on that foundation with verbal and hand signals, recall, distractions, and early off-leash behavior. Beginning Dog serves older puppies and adults with little previous training, while advanced courses add more challenging on- and off-leash work.

Behavior training focuses heavily on identifying what triggers unwanted behavior before creating a customized plan for the dog and owner. Molina describes using positive reinforcement to reward desired behavior along with negative reinforcement to redirect dogs toward acceptable alternatives. The website also discusses leadership, consistency, environment, owner habits, and communication as factors in behavior. Problem Behavior Prevention specifically addresses issues such as biting, barking, jumping, bolting, counter surfing, house soiling, and digging. Current pricing, guarantees, insurance, and facility details are not published on the website.
